• Bryan Mbeumo struck the decisive penalty against the crossbar after scoring in regulation, and Matheus Cunha also failed from the spot.
• André Onana’s first‑half errors preceded goals by Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren as United’s expensively assembled XI struggled.
• Ruben Amorim apologized, described his team as "completely lost" and said "something has to change," comments outlets interpreted as a possible reassessment of his role.
